On our last day we traveled back to Nairobi and visited one of the maternity homes of the Mercy House. They have two homes in undisclosed locations so I don't have but one photo. The girls need to remain protected.
Mercy House rescues girls from the slums around Kenya that are pregnant and gives them a chance for transformation and healing. The bedrooms are super cute and practical as each mother has a crib above her bed for the baby. There are four girls and babies to a room.
We had an amazing time of worship with the girls as they sang and gave praise to our Lord. These girls show us that God still works miracles and is a loving God.
All too soon, it was time to be heading to the airport for two long flights home. We certainly had a lot to think about and process.
Our plane in London getting ready to take us home! This flight was practically empty so Auntie moved to her own row and I had mine! We loved all the extra space and attention by the attendants!
Well, that sums up our trip. I hope you have enjoyed seeing a different part of the world.
I really enjoyed hearing about your trip!
ReplyDeleteAwesome trip. What a great idea to put the cribs over the mother's beds. I have worked in a woman's shelter and realize space is a a premium but putting the crib over the bed frees up a much needed area. Four women and children to a room would be very difficult forsleeping but the support from each woman would balance the lack of privacy.
